Is this the end of superstar duos dominating a team’s cap sheet, or the blueprint for sustainable success under the league’s new collective bargaining agreement? John Karalis of Celtics On SI breaks down the driving forces behind the trade, spotlighting the impact of salary cap constraints, the strategic value of draft assets, and what Paul George’s arrival signals for the team’s future.
